Overall correct prediction: 77%.

Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit: Chi-square 4.74, p = 0.8, eight degrees of freedom. ROC curve: area under the curve = 0.80 (0.73 to 0.86).

ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; CI = confidence interval; ICU = intensive care unit; MDR = multidrug resistant; OR = odds ratio; RRT = renal replacement therapy; VAP = ventilator-associated pneumonia.
